Creating A Web Radio Button With Kml Browser

Hello there,I had KMLBrowser set up so a button called "Web Radio" on the 1st screen of XBMC could be clicked instead of jumping through folders. I recently upgraded XBMC because they fixed the gif bug that might prevent KML from crashing. Unfortunately, I lost the Web Radio button after upgrading.

PS - If an XBMC author is reading this, a great idea would be to put in code that will allow say, files with a .cfg extension to append settings to xboxmediacenter.xml? This way, upgrading to new versions won't break old stuff quite so easily!

I think it's best to think of XBMC like Linux, and like Linux there are diffrent distributions, and each one is a little diffrent. as far as I know the KML browser buttons are a hack to the skins included buy the builder of that particular distubution. and are not yet officialy included by the skin maker. you most likely could just replace the skin, with the one that had the button. also some distros of XBMC have moved the KML Browser button to music on some skins like ProjectMayhem, Black Blue, black blue beOS.

Thanks guys, but I didn't change any skin. I have NTSC, and no HDTV, so I have the default XBMC media player skin chosen.

Changing the home.xml file, I managed to get it to say "Web Radio" on the initial screen inside the menu, but I can't get it to act like a button. Basically I'm unable to highlight it and click it to make it run the script.

I do realize that someone hacked in the Web Radio button, that's why I trying to put it back myself! I can't find that version again, but I know it's as simple as putting a few lines of code in. Does anybody know what these lines of code are??

If it appears but it won't activate, you probably cut and pasted another button and forgot to make the ID number unique and/or change the onup and ondown of the surrounding buttons to let the button get focus.
